After coming to my hotel room, I jumped on my bed and instantly fell asleep.
"Anghh!"
When I woke up from my slumber after around three hours, a dull ache pounded my skull relentlessly, causing me to groan in irritation.
Soon, I realized it wasn't just my head that was aching in pain but my whole body, especially my chest.
As I unbuttoned my new shirt, which I had purchased earlier today on my way to the hotel, I discovered the familiar red ruby engraved on my chest once again.
Each time I shed my armor for using Embrace Discard, the ruby in my chest would break, instantly boosting all of my stats.
Once the effect of the Embrace Discard wears off, my status returns to normal, and the ruby will appear back on my chest.
But this process of my status returning to normal and the ruby reappearing on my chest is always accompanied by agonizing pain.
